Chelsea boss Tuchel admits James injury setback

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel admits Reece James has suffered an injury setback.

James looks set to miss Thursday's Premier League clash with Norwich after suffering a new injury setback.

The England defender only recently returned from a two-month layoff with a hamstring tear, enjoying a starring role and scoring the opener in Saturday's 4-0 demolition of Burnley at Turf Moor.

However, James is a big doubt for tomorrow night's trip to Carrow Road after sustaining a new muscle injury on the opposite leg, with manager Thomas Tuchel admitting his concern.

“We are worried," the German told reporters on Wednesday. “It's not good news. It's a setback for sure, we hope it's not a bad one."
